Andrea Perry is an experienced psychotherapist who recognises that if people could 'just do it', with or without fear, they would.

Accessible and practical, illustrated with humorous and pertinent cartoons, 'Isn't it about time?' provides a rich variety of ideas which help you overcome delay and accomplsih what you need and want to do - today, not tomorrow.

Paperback. Condición: New. Experiencing claustrophobia can be terrifying. Each person who is claustrophobic copes with their fears differently - some by struggling to manage their anxieties and panic, and others by limiting their lives to avoid enclosed spaces, like tube-trains, lifts, tunnels, car-washes, MRI scans, loo's on planes, or even wearing a crash-helmet. Some people find their fears embarrassing or shameful, and worry what others may think of them, when they have to "just get out" of small or crowded places. In this sensitive and insightful book, therapist and consultant Andrea Perry speaks honestly of her own experiences, as well as drawing on the views of others whose claustrophobic feelings have affected their lives. She paints a powerful picture of the challenge of dealing with claustrophobia on a daily basis, looking at how people manage, whether it is possible to overcome the anxiety, and what others can do to help friends, family and colleagues to cope.She even manages to find the humour in what can be a truly frightening experience, and controversially, presents claustrophobia not simply as an irrational response, but as a deeply human rejection of being electronically controlled in the confined spaces of an increasingly technological world. She also claims that many businesses are losing customers through not understanding people's fear of confined spaces and provides concrete suggestions as to what designers, architects and a wide range of public and private service providers can do to help. …

Paperback. Condición: New. Creating schools that are secure, safe, and peaceful is crucial if all pupils are going to benefit from their education. This is especially important for those who might be vulnerable, traumatised and unable to settle into normal school routine. Key to this whole process, though, are our teachers. Unless teachers feel secure, valued and peaceful in their classrooms, they will not be in a position to extend these key qualities to those they teach. But over the last couple of decades, the well-being of teachers - and all support staff engaged in relating to pupils - has been compromised in a number of ways: multiple changes of curriculum, new school structures, changes in conditions of service and pensions, school management styles that reflect anxiety over forthcoming outcomes, results and inspections. The pressures are relentless, and hardly allow any breathing space. In School as a Secure Base, Kevin Street argues that only when staff can find their own security and value, will any efforts to improve pupils' education succeed.Drawing on day-to-day classroom experience, the author provides evidenced ways through which teaching professionals can start to experience internal peace, and so extend this into their classrooms and schools, regardless of external pressures, expectations and demands. He also provides techniques to use with pupils, based on a sound understanding of what can overcome the factors that impede learning. The pupils' learning outcomes will reflect the feelings of attachment, peace and relaxation that these techniques create. Supported by the practical, tried-and-tested techniques the author describes, teachers will be able to find their joy in teaching again, and achieve a healthy and more peaceful balance in their lives, with the result that their schools can become beacons of emotional stability and learning excellence. Who Should Read It? All teachers and support staff who are engaged in the daily process of classroom work throughout all Key Stages. Additionally, head teachers, governors, and local authority advisors will benefit from the insights shared in this book. …

Paperback. Condición: New. There are a great many children and young people in our classrooms struggling with a range of social and emotional problems across what teacher and interim Virtual Head Sheila Mulvenney describes as 'the spectrum of trouble'. At one end, the pupil may have experienced severe difficulties, such as neglect, trauma and abuse, the death or imprisonment of a parent; at the other, the pupil may have experienced parental or sibling ill health, separation through parents being posted overseas, having financial difficulties. Such 'troubles' may be long or short term, but coming into school, these pupils are unlikely to be in a state of readiness for learning. Their distress may not only prevent them from being curious, engaged and open, but expressed in challenging behaviour, can quickly disrupt others learning too.Mulvenny shows how relationships with staff in school are critical to enabling pupils and students to feel secure; how essential a 'culture of care' of both staff and pupils is to creating the right environment for concentration and good learning, and how it can be improved; how staff managing their own emotional experience can both reduce the likelihood 'collisions in the classroom' and also provide modelling for pupils and students on how to mitigate the worse effects of the distress they are experiencing. She also addresses how language used in school can be modified to challenge the 'scripts' our pupils carry with them in more constructive direction. In short, a blue print to overcome barriers to learning.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Anita M Hughes has been running the Friendly Group with her colleagues for 18 years, supporting more than 200 children and young people in that time. The Friendly Group is a social and therapeutic group for children and young people on the Autism Spectrum who struggle to make relationships and share feelings with others. The author describes the core principles of this extremely successful group and the structure and framework offered. These children appear to cope without real friendships, but often from an increasingly isolated position. Their behaviour is often driven by anxiety, made worse by feeling different. Families experience frustration and uncertainty about how they can help. Through vivid accounts Hughes describes how the group leaders can facilitate children and young people to support each other, and to think and talk about what happens inside and between them in the 'here- and- now'. Professionals working with children and young people and their families in and outside school will find a fantastic range of ideas here on how to work in similar groups, with a sound sense of how to 'contain' children's and young people's anxiety. Parents too, will find inspiration.As Hughes states "when we have faith in the children we live or work with, they will blossom".…

Paperback. Condición: New. Every trainee teacher and NQT needs to know about the importance of attachment in schools. So many children and young people arrive in class every day who are unable to settle to learn. Many are coming from previous or current home environments which have not provided them with the necessary consistent security and reliable warmth for them to be relaxed, confident and trusting. Some have experienced trauma, loss, neglect and abuse. They communicate their distress through their challenging behaviour in school. What is needed first and foremost for such pupils of all ages is an authentic relationship of attachment with school staff who can get to know them, genuinely empathise and enable them to settle securely and begin to feel safe. Then, and only then, can the task of learning begin. This handbook first explains succinctly why an understanding of attachment theory is vital for all teachers. It then provides practical examples of how a teacher can recognise what the pupil's behaviour is communicating and how the teacher can then effectively intervene to enable the pupil to settle to learn and the teacher achieve freedom to teach.…

Paperback. Condición: New. The Handbook of Transitions brings together inone book some of the key passages on change and transitions from LouiseMichelle Bombèr's best loved writing, updated for today's demands anduncertainties. So that when you are thinking about transitions a child or youngperson may be facing, or if you have recognised that a child or young personyou know is generally struggling with transitions at the moment, you'll readilyfind thoughts and ideas to help you. Themes include the need for a deep sense of felt safety, through accessto consistent, reliable, empathic adults, and a safe base: structure, issuessuch as power, choice and control, timing, transitional objects and rituals,interruptions, moving school, handling exclusions, and much more.  You'll also find thoughts around what thesepupils need from the adults around them to support them to navigatetransitions. Andrea Perry's introduction and additional annotationaround Louise's writing highlights the significance of her often prescientthinking and suggestions in the light of social change over the last decade orso, which have created additional challenges for our already vulnerablechildren and young people.  Indeed, current government policyfocuses strongly on the transition from primary to secondary schoolingemphasizing the need to manage that change empathetically and retain inclusionin mainstream education.For nearly 20 years, Louise Michelle Bombèr hasconsistently provided informed, thoughtful and inspiring writing full ofinnovative, practice-evidenced and practical ideas for educators, parents andcarers who face challenges in schools.  Inher many books she has written about transitions in school from many angles,drawing on biology, neuroscience, attachment aware, trauma responsiveapproaches and her extensive frontline experience of working with children andyoung people.   The capacity we develop as children to cope with transitionslays the foundation for our ability to cope with change and transition in the future.  Some children and young people in our schoolstoday find transitions extremely difficult, whether that involves coming intoschool each morning, or even coming into school at all.  In school there are transitions throughoutthe day, different subjects, different people, different styles of learning,different kit needed - together with the huge transition from primary tosecondary.  This transition may be ofparticular concern to families where a child needs specialist provision (SEND),and is not sure what support will be available to them at the next school.A number of childrenand young people struggle with shift from one focus to another: or with beingorganised, with managing uncertainty and unstructured time, with managing largegroups rather than small numbers - so many things to navigate.  If children are already experiencingdifficulties because of relational trauma and losses, and/or because of themany intersectional challenges facing families today, transitions in school cancreate d.…
